As AI models grow more complex, the hardware supporting them is evolving toward 3D integrated circuits (3D-ICs). Managing power integrity in these stacked architectures is now the primary challenge for semiconductor designers.
Gecko Robotics has secured a massive deal with the U.S. Navy to use robots for predictive maintenance on its fleet. By using wall-climbing robots and AI, the Navy can detect structural issues before they lead to catastrophic failures.
Tesla’s 2026 Model Y has become the first vehicle to pass the NHTSA’s updated ADAS benchmark tests. While the tests focus on basics like automatic emergency braking, they represent a new standard for safety in the age of automation.
The shift toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) is driving the need for sophisticated electronics digital twins. This technology allows engineers to simulate complex electronic architectures long before a physical prototype exists.
Aurora is moving from testing to commercial scale, securing a major deal with McLane to run driverless truck routes across Texas. CEO Chris Urmson argues that the technology has finally matured to handle the rigors of long-haul logistics.
High-density 3D-IC architectures are becoming essential for AI scaling, but they present unprecedented challenges in power integrity and delivery.
Gecko Robotics has signed a landmark five-year deal with the U.S. Navy to deploy autonomous inspection robots across the fleet, signaling a new era of robotic maintenance.
Wayve’s end-to-end AI approach to autonomous driving has attracted major investment from AMD, Arm, and Qualcomm, signaling a shift in ADAS compute strategy.
The industry is shifting from physical vehicle simulation to electronic digital twins, enabling manufacturers to test complex software stacks against virtual hardware.
Aurora Innovation has secured a significant commercial agreement with McLane to deploy driverless trucks on Texas highways, aiming for a Sun Belt expansion by late 2026.
NVIDIA's new Nemotron 3 Nano Omni model marks a shift toward unified multimodal AI, eliminating the latency of switching between separate vision and language models to create more responsive physical agents.
An April 2026 Lens on what the AI press got wrong — and what actually shifted. The press told you AI exploded this month. Mythos benchmarks. Boston Dynamics victory laps. Robot wolfpacks on Chinese state TV. Five new agentic models in three weeks. Bezos wiring $100 billion into industrial AI. Musk
